I'm talking about this kind of box:

Most designs have some sort of trays or extra organizers or other manner
of separate containers that you have to remove to open or to access
what's under/behind them... that just leads to unnecessary clutter when
one nice self-contained unit becomes several containers strewn about.

The type in that picture, the classic fishing-tackle box, keeps it all
in one place - flip the lid open and have direct access to everything
therein.

As I say, problem with most of them is that they don't do much to "seal"
the compartments when they're closed, and they tend to roll over easily.
